Steven King Knew Trump was Coming -The Dead Zone


“Those morons out there? Shheh, I can take chicken fertilizer and sell it to ’em for caviar. I can make them eat dog food and they’ll think it’s steak ... You know what the public’s like? A cage full of guinea pigs."
Trump would say the tape was doctored and Fox News would confirm it.

The only thing that would end him - Like a stake through the heart of Dracula - Would be his (say) using a baby as a shield from an assassination attack as portrayed in Stephen Kings prescient book and movie - "The Dead Zone"
Trump IS Greg Stillson reincarnate!

Don't Worry -Be Happy! -- In your Red State Shitholes



It's ok! All's well!
Living in a robin's egg blue state life is just honky dory!
We bluebirds just have to stop worrying about the folks outside our walls and their problems with abortion and civil rights and jobs and education and discrimination and immigration -and guns yadadadada - 
WELL THEN -they will just have to make their own political changes or move in with us - the door is always open.
BUT - IF you're happy where you are -the way things are - then - don't worry - be happy - as long as you can?

The Cold Empty Reptile that is Donald Trump



THIS is what makes my head spin: The president is not a moral figure in any idiom, any land, any culture, any subculture. I’m not talking about the liberal enlightenment that would make him want the country to take care of the poor and sick. I mean he has no Republican values either. He has no honor among thieves, no cosa nostra loyalty, no Southern code against cheating or lying, none of the openness of New York, rectitude of Boston, expressiveness and kindness of California, no evangelical family values, no Protestant work ethic. No Catholic moral seriousness, no sense of contrition or gratitude. No Jewish moral and intellectual precision, sense of history. He doesn’t care about the life of the mind OR the life of the senses. He is not mandarin, not committed to inquiry or justice, not hospitable. He is not proper. He is not a bon vivant who loves to eat, drink, laugh. There’s nothing he would die for — not American values, obviously, but not the land of Russia or his wife or young son. He has some hollow success creeds from Norman Vincent Peale, but Peale was obsessed with fair-dealing and a Presbyterian pastor; 
Trump has no fairness or piety. He’s not sentimental; no affection for dogs or babies. No love for mothers, “the common man,” veterans. He has no sense of military valor, and is openly a coward about war.

He would have sorely lacked the pagan beauty and capacity to fight required in ancient Greece. He doesn’t care about his wife or wives; he is a philanderer but he’s not a romantic hero with great love for women and sex. He commands loyalty and labor from his children not because he loves them, even; he seems almost to hate them — and if one of them slipped it would be terrifying. He does no philanthropy. He doesn’t—in a more secular key—even seem to have a sense of his enlightened self-interest enough to shake Angela Merkel’s hand. Doesn’t even affect a love for the arts, like most rich New Yorkers. He doesn’t live and die by aesthetics and health practices like some fascists; he’s very ugly and barely mammalian. Am I missing an obscure moral system to which he so much as nods? Also are there other people, living or dead, like him?
